that of my individual responsibility
to God And after speaking on
this subject in the most solemn
strain for about twenty minutes he
silently rose from the table and re-
tired to his room. This incident
related by Harvey in his reminis-
cences. serves to Illustrate the atti-
tude OF great minds towards eternal
things. Great men are not scoffers.
The men of tiippant jeers and Goddess
tests are men Of small calibre and
shallow intellect. 1t is not the wise
man who has ''said in his heart there
is no God. 1t is not the great
man who casts off fear and restraints
prayer before him. a great man
comprehends something greater than
himself, for he is but the image OF
a divine Creator, marred, defaced
and distorted by sin, yet bearing tes-
timonv to the dignity and granduer
of the divine original, whose glory
is so family Swallowed in the man
whom he has made and endowed
with intellect and will and conscience,
and whom he mas made to feel in
the depths of his soul the Importance
of his individual responsibility to
God. THE Christian.

Trusting.

1t Is not uncommon to see in small
shops the sign mo trust here"
1t means that business is to be done
on a cash basis, and it is a good
rule for small and simple industries.
But it Is bad when such a sign Is
nailed over the doorway Of the mind
or heart. In our relations with men
we cannot get along without trust.
Confidence in humanity Is the very
basis Of commerce. Without it.
business loses its nobility, and be
comes n shrewd scramble, in which
suspicion takes the place of pru-
dence The cynic, the misanthrope,
who has no trust in his feilow-men,
who suspects everybody, who has no
faith in honesty or virtue or the
better qualities of human nature, is
an uncomfortable man to live with
and As uncomfortable to himself As
he is TO others.
But it is doubly unfortunate when
the sign s'No trust here" reveals a
want of confidence in the goodness
and wisdom of the universe. Pes
simism has no remedy for the ills it
reveals; 1t only intensifes them.
To every one in life there comes
burdens. sorrows, sickness. adver-
sitv. death. There are few lives
whose sunshine is not shaded some
times by a cloud.
The very cloud that shades the
life may be the means of irrigating
it. 1t Is only through a condition
of faith and trust that spiritual
blessings may come to the soul that
needs them. Distrust creates q vac
uum in the soul. 1t is not so much
philosophy as a mood Of mind and
heart. 1t may not be easy to ban
ish it by an effort of will. 1t may
not be an effort of any kind that is
needed, but simply resignation, the
surrender of self to a Higher Power.
Our little lives and their petty veX-
atoms and cares seem to Us at times
to have nothing to do with the Life
of the universe. 1t is far truer,
however, that every human expert
ence has a universal side to it which
opens toward God, as the simplest
act of walking to the child is related
to the universal law of gravitation
which holds the universe together.
Trust is an antiseptic. 1t wards off
disease of soul. 1t may not restore
what we have lost, but 1t may pre-
serve the soul in sweetness and
health. and be the medium through
which God transmits some of his
richest blessings.

That Prayer

Paul vas now on his way up to
Jerusalem. Having arrived at
NIiletus. he sent to Ephesus, some
forty miles distant. for the elde,s
of the church there to come unto
him. Affecting was the brief inter
view that he had with them. lie
had labored at Ephesus some three
wears with much success, and these
elders were probably some of the
precious fruits. Having remind q
them of these things, he told them
that he was now going up to Jeru-
salem. not knowing the things that
should befall him there, save that
the Holy Ghost witnessed in every
CITY. saving that bonds and Affections
abided him. But he assured them
that none of these things moved
him. and that he counted not HIM
self. so that he might finish his
course with JOY, and the ministry
which he received. testify the gospel
Of the grace of God. He then SAID
unto them: And now, behold, |
know that We all, among whom l
have gone preaching the kingdom Of
God, shall see my face no more.
Wherefore l take YOU to record this
dav. that l am free from the blood |
of all men: for l have not stunned |
to declare unto YOU all the counsel |
of God" He then charged them
to be faithful, and warned them Of |
the perils that awaited the church at
Ephesus from false teachers; and /
when he had spoken unto them other
words of tenderness and affection.
she kneeled down and prayed with .
them ALL"
We lament that the PRAYER that he
then offered has not been recorded.
The prayer of such a man in such |
circumstances, must have been one !
of no ordinary interest. 1t must
have been hearty and sincere, tender !
and affecting. There was no for
malitv. and no generalities. Paul
doubtless prayed very earnestly for
the brethren then with him, and for
the church of which they were elders.
His whole soul was in the PRAYER.
Every word was to the point; every
expression full of meaning. That
was Il melting season with them all.
Every heart was dissolved. All
eyes were a fountain of tears. ''They
all wept sore. and fell ON Paul's neck
and kissed him, sorrowing most Of
all for the words which he spake,
that they should see his face no
more"
Rising from their knees, they ac-
companied him to the ship, where
they parted, to meet no more on
earth, Paul to 90 on his way to en-
counter yet other conflicts and perils
in the service of the Master, and
they, with burdened and sorrowing
hearts. to return to Ephesus, to care
for the flock over which the Holy
Ghost had made them overseers.-

Perfumes.

1t is pleasure to note that the in
discriminate use of perfumes among
members of the fair sex Is rapidly de-
creasing, and that the woman who en-
plOyS triple extracts with which to
sprinkle herself has become the ex-
cepuOn rather than the rule. Like
everything else, perfumes may be
Legitimate or not. according to circum-
stances. Delicate odOrs, such as
violet, helOtrOpe, or orris-roOt, are
always permissible, just as patchOuly
and musk are always to be summed.
In any event, perfume in the shape of
sachet powder is to be preferred to
liquid extracts. if we except one or
two English preparations. This subtle,
delightful scent was first used by the
Princess of Wales, and later by Mrs.
Langtry, until it finally became the
rag. The chemist, meanwhile had
made fortune. a peculiar custom
with fashionable women is to pour one
or two DROPS of perfume into their
ears. Nobody nowadays ever thinks of
putting perfume on a handkerchief or
rubbing it on ones hands. Laces,
underwear. + bbons. note-paper, gloves.
and all small articles of dress are m2de

OF a size corresponding to the bureau

A Great Mans Greatest Thought

At dinner at the Astor House
when Daniel Webster was secretary
of state under president Fillmore,
after a period of silence. which fell
upon the company of some twenty
gentlemen who were present, one

Missionary Items.

DR.. McCosh, president of Prince
ton college tells that in the fall of
1886 two Princeton students who
had passed portion of the pre-
vious summer under the warm and
stimulating instruction of Mr.. Moody,
resolved to visit the college of the
L. B. to ascertain how many of the
alumni were willing and desirious to
be foreign missionaries. Ninetv-twO
have since been heard from with
this result: that no fewer than
.525 students (of both sides) are
ascertained to be ready to go on
foreign service.
The London Missionary Society
has a fleet of five vessels plying
between mission stations three are in
Polynesia and two in Africa. The
money for their support is raised by
young people. K. J. Garvie, him
self one of the Sioux tribe, in a re-
cent address spoke with Indian elo-
quence of Indians whom no torture
could make groan, but who weep at
the story OF the Cross. He said,
''there are 1900 living Sioux CON
verts, and as many more have died
III the faith. There are 68 tribes of
Indians in our country without Chris
tian missionaries.
Says Rev. Mark Guy Pearse,
If you want to keep money from
hurting you, you must think as much
about givin' as gettin'. Folks often
excuse themselves saying they can't
afford to give; but if they saw things
in a truer hight they'd say that they
couldn't afford to keep" Says H.
X. Carroll, 'Prodigality begets
wealth in our dealings with the Cos
pel.''
